Advanced Placement Program Is Added to Barbara Kern and Ted Anderson listen as fellow student Peter Seagreaves improves his French diction under Miss Colver's supervision. An extra challenge for students who wanted to meet it was added to the foreign language department this year in the form of an advanced placement program. The program consisted of added reading of major works in preparation for an advanced placement test. Scores earned on this test allowed the students to begin college study of the language at a more advanced level.
